czintentm plane 0, 0, under ordinary conditions of use. That is to say the toggle will not be looserred by ordinary shock or vibration attendant upon the manipulation of the window or shade, but is practically locked in position with the other parts when the central pivot t, is within the pivotal plane 0, c, as in Fig. l.

In order to facilitate the initial application of the device as shown in Fig. 2, I also provide the toggle arm T, with a toe t, which, by contacting with the plate B, as in said Fig. 2, sustains the arm T, in proximate position and thereby aids also in correctly positioning the fulcrum plate P, preparatory to the forcing inward of the toggle into the locked position shown in Fig. 1.

My shade roller support may be quickly and conveniently applied or removed without the aid of skilled labor or the use of extraneous tools or implements of any kind; and it does not injure or split the wood work to whih it is applied. And it does not become a fixture in the legal sense of the word, since it is not permanently attached to the window frame, so that a tenant may remove it with other personal property on vacating an apartment thus furnished by him.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,

1. A window shade support of the character designated, comprising a serrated socket bracket piece, a serrated fulcrum piece and an interposed toggle joint pivotally connected at opposite ends to said bracket piece and fulcrum piece adapted when distended to hold said pieces in positions at substantially right angles to each other.

2. A window shade support of the character designated, comprising a serrated socket bracket piece, a serrated fulcrum piece and an interposed toggle joint pivotally connected at opposite ends to said bracket piece and fulcrum piece adapted when distended to hold said pieces in positions at substantially right angles to each other, and means for gaging the inward central thrust of the toggle.

3. A window shade support of the character designated, comprising a serrated socket bracket piece, a serrated fulcrum piece and an interposed toggle joint pivotally connected at opposite ends to said bracket piece and fulcrum piece adapted when distended to hold said pieces in positions at substantially right angles to each other, and a stop member on one arm of the toggle adjacent the pivot of the latter with one of said pieces.
